Rooms were small and noisy. Our original room (408) was right beside the elevators—which were extremely loud. The staff changed our room on our second night, and the new room was marginally better, but still lacking in comfort or soundproofing. Shower was very small. Bed was uncomfortable, with 2 extremely flat/soft pillows. When we called the front desk to request 2 additional pillows, we were advised that they ran out.

Good but could be better
Good hotel and friendly staff. It was an expensive stay at the hotel ($1200/2 nights in a twin). It's a good property but parts of the hotel are dated and on top of that they mixed up my laundry and I didn't receive it before I left. Thankfully the issue was resolved but it's still not great.

Got there around 5p after a long day of traveling. They couldn’t get us into our room until 8pm. Also in the Wast Tower, the elevator on the right, the Lobby button doesn’t work every time so you might get stuck for a bit.

The front desk told us the restaurant was open for dinner. It is closed Sunday. We could not leave the garage our key card didn’t work and I hade to leave the care at the gate and go back inside. Even though when I checked out I confirmed I could use my keycard. The bathroom is tiny and the shower claustrophobic. We paid for a water view and it was very limited.
